Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct 12mm Clevis Slip Hook is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a robust solution for towing, pulling, and load securing applications. Its primary benefit is its high breaking load capacity, ensuring safety and reliability under heavy strain. A potential caveat is its steel construction, which while durable, requires proper care to prevent rust in harsh environments. This hook is constructed from steel with a zinc-plated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and features a clevis pin attachment for secure connections.

FAQs
What is the breaking load of the 12mm Clevis Slip Hook?
The breaking load for the 12mm SecureFix Direct Clevis Slip Hook is 11,790kg.
What material is the hook made of?
The hook is made of steel with a zinc-plated finish.
Is the clevis pin included with the hook?
The product description does not specify if a clevis pin is included. It is recommended to check with the seller or purchase a compatible clevis pin separately.
Can this hook be used for lifting applications?
While strong, this hook is primarily designed for towing, pulling, and load securing. For specific lifting applications, ensure it meets relevant safety standards and is used with appropriate rigging equipment.
How should I maintain the zinc-plated finish?
Keep the hook clean and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For long-term storage or use in harsh environments, a light application of oil can help protect the finish.
What are the overall dimensions of the hook?
The key dimensions are: A-101mm, B-41.4mm, C-23mm, D-34mm, E-165mm, F-17.3mm, G-15.8mm, H-19mm.
What does 'Clevis Slip Hook' mean?
A clevis hook uses a 'U' shaped shackle (clevis) and pin to attach. 'Slip hook' refers to its design that allows a loop of chain or rope to slide off easily when not under load, which can be useful in certain rigging scenarios.
Troubleshooting
Hook does not fit with existing hardware.
Verify the dimensions of the hook (A-101mm, B-41.4mm, C-23mm, D-34mm, E-165mm, F-17.3mm, G-15.8mm, H-19mm) against your hardware and ensure you are using a compatible clevis pin.
Visible signs of rust or corrosion.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a rust inhibitor or a light coat of oil. For significant corrosion, consider replacing the hook if its integrity is compromised.
Clevis pin is difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure there is no debris or damage to the hook's eye or the clevis pin. Lubricate the pin lightly if necessary.
Hook appears bent or deformed after use.
Immediately cease using the hook and inspect it for structural integrity. A bent hook has likely exceeded its load limit and should be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the appropriate clevis pin for the 12mm hook (ensure pin diameter and length are compatible with your rigging system).
- Insert the clevis pin through the hook's eye and the attachment point (e.g., chain, strap, eye bolt).
- Secure the clevis pin using the appropriate cotter pin or locking mechanism.
Compatibility:
This hook is designed for use with standard clevis fittings, chains, and ropes that match its 12mm size and load rating. Always verify that all components in your rigging system have compatible load ratings to avoid failure.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the hook with a damp cloth to remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the hook for signs of wear, cracks, or significant corrosion. Check that the clevis pin and any securing mechanism are intact.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment. If used in saltwater or corrosive conditions, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry before storing. A light application of oil can further protect against rust if stored for extended periods.
